I'm migrating from a #LibremKey to a #Nitrokey 3c. One OTP made it to my new Nitrokey and the rest still sits on the LibremKey. I updated my OS and installed the new #nitropy utility which can't handle the LibremKey.

#NitrokeyAuthenticator is still installed on my #Librem5 and while it is easy to use that way it is even easier from my desktop. Waypipe didn't work, but ssh librem5 NitrokeyAuthenticator -platform vnc opens an unprotected vnc port…

purism@pureos:~$ netstat -pnlt | grep Nitro

…which I can connect to to get an otp before migrating it to the new token.

#NotSoSecure

And after disconnecting the ssh session the application keeps running and still can be connected to.

#EvenLessSecure

Not everything perfect, yet: just used my #Librem5 to transfer money.

• connected keyboard and mouse through bluetooth (sparklan card)
• used pass-mgr-compact to get my login password for the banks page in firefox
  • found passff not working in my actual firefox configuration
  • had to copy the username from pass in a terminal, because I didn't find a way to get it in pass-mgr-compact
• read the email containing information about the transfer in geary
• confirmed the transfer using an external token that reads data from the screen of the L5

On the first try the L5 froze when I connected power after disconnecting the #LibremKey needed for my pass tomb from the L5.

Wrote this in #tangram.

My USB-C #LibremKey worked just fine for 4 month on my bunch of keys. Now the adapter broke. The strain in daily use has been too much. I looked for another solution that might last longer and came up with a metal adapter that doesn't include a cable.

It is a bit harder to use - especially if the #Librem5 is not laying flat on a surface, but it turned out that I didn't use it too often anyway while it has been really nice to keep it around and be able to use it with my Librem5.

In places where I often use the LibremKey I still have adapters with a short cable to not put unnecessary strain on the connectors.

#ShotOnLibrem5

A picture shot of a modern keychain to show an usb-smartcard-adapter and the #LibremKey containing an OpenPGP smartcard.

#ShotOnLibrem5 with an alpha version of #millipixels that offers autofocus, but triggers some bug that does break saving of pictures.

Good luck that librem5-goodies containing a screenshot script is installed to save the picture.

To use my #LibremKey with my #Librem5 I had to convert it to a LibremKey USB-C

For the moment being I decided to disable the use of the #OpenPGPcard inside my #Librem5 to force the use of my #LibremKey when gpg is needed on the phone.

Support for multiple smartcards is improved in gpg 2.3.x I read which is not available for my distribution, yet.

This way pass works with the externally connected LibremKey/#Nitrokey as expected.
